CPU, motherboard and RAM stick performance overall
CPU, motherboard and RAM stick performance overall
Hello, welcome! Your system will likely run at the motherboard's default speed of 2933MHz since it matches the RAM standard. The CPU won't need to use XMP or BIOS settings to reach 3200MHz unless your motherboard supports that boost. Just ensure the RAM sticks are compatible with DDR4-3200MHz.
Usually the system targets the highest supported CPU frequency, which in this case is 2933 MHz based on your CPU's reading. To reach the claimed 3200 MHz, you'd have to overclock the processor itself. For instance, your 9700K supports up to 2666 MHz, but you'd need to boost your RAM using an XMP profile to hit its advertised 3200 MHz. If you're using a Ryzen chipset, you'd focus on overclocking the memory, while Intel systems don't typically benefit significantly from RAM overclocking.
